"mkdir_mondata_subdir()" -> "Population of a monitor group's mon_data directory"?

I think there is some redundant information in the parameters that can be simplified.
It is already familiar that a domain/header of NULL implies that this is SNC/summing of domains.
For example, mon_event_read() and rmid_read::hdr. I think it will make things simpler and consistent
to do the same here where a hdr value of NULL implies sum of events. With that do_sum
will no longer be needed.

Continuing from the earlier mon_add_all_files() comment, passing a value for hdr here
does not seem right since there is no single domain attached to these files being created.
Now that this code is made to be more specific it can do so more clearly by passing NULL instead.

Noting here that kn was created earlier with mode of parent_kn->mode. It thus looks to me like
above can also be written as:
ckn = kernfs_create_dir(kn, name, kn->mode, prgrp);
The reason I mention this is that this patch adds a third copy of a very similar code snippet
(kernfs_create_dir(), rdtgroup_kn_set_ugid(), mon_add_all_files()) that looks like a good
candidate for a helper?

What happened between the time you indicated that the above will receive a resource check
and this patch?
